According to The Guardian, North Korean autocrat Kim Jong-Un recently condemned Seth Rogen and James Franco for their movie, The Interview. Set to be released this fall, the film follows two celebrity interviewers (played by Franco and Rogen) who are recruited by the CIA to assassinate the dear leader of the DPRK. Tweeted Rogen, "I hope he likes it!" This was probably followed by a few of Rogen's signature stupid chuckles. DBM

Reports are coming out of Washington that an Iranian phishing scheme is targeting foreign policymakers, journalists, NGO leaders, and pro-Israel activists.

How does it work, you ask? You're not going to believe this. Someone (allegedly working for Tehran) created a fake online persona on behalf of John Bolton, the former US ambassador to the United Nations and mustachioed neo-con from the Bush (43) administration. The fake Bolton reaches out to people the real Bolton knows in real life through LinkedIn and then gets them to look at nefarious websites that steal personal information. Presumably, fake Bolton's goal is to gain access to the computers and files of people who might have sensitive information about US foreign policy.

The use of LinkedIn, the least useful social media platform currently out there, might mark an all-time low in the history of espionage. As The League's Rodney Ruxin once said, "Don't invite me to join LinkedIn. It just reeks of dudes with cellphone holders."
